A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All

I find almost anything that Stephen Colbert does funny. I hate to gush about comedians but this guy is just so talented, he is not only funny but he sings, he acts. I guess next he will be dancing.

I usually think that these kind of Christmas specials are corny, but as only Colbert can, he pulls it off.

According to one of the reviews at Amazon;
From beginning to end, Stephen Colbert delivers holiday comedy in the form of song. Musical guests such as Feist, Toby Keith, and Willie Nelson celebrate the holiday season, and Jon Stewart (no photo available) shares his Jewish traditions. Santa makes a special appearance, and you'll never guess who he is. Your destination for Christmas truthiness is in this DVD, fun to watch with the family and friends.

Night Before Election Late-Night TV Hosts Political Jokes

Yahoo News had the below list of jokes from the late night TV hosts. These guys crack me up.

----------

'Twas the night before the presidential election and all through the house was the sound of late-night TV hosts getting in their last-minute digs.

Here's a selection of jokes from Monday:

___

"Today Barack Obama campaigned in Florida and Virginia. And McCain campaigned in two states: panic and desperation." — David Letterman, CBS' "Late Show."

___

"Actually, there is a good chance that we could go to bed tomorrow night and not know who's running the country. Just like it's been for the last eight years." — Jay Leno, NBC's "Tonight Show."

___

"Right now it's a toss up between Barack and Obama." — Jimmy Kimmel on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

___

"This is my first election, not sure what supposed do on Election Eve. Are there traditions? So you hang your `chads' over the fireplace? Leave stuff out for your favorite candidate? Maybe a sandwich for Obama. That is a thin man .... McCain, leave him some food, nice warm mug of creamed corn ... Tasty. And you don't need to chew." — Craig Ferguson, CBS' "Late Late Show."

___

"Who are the real winners in this election? Don't ask me. Ask Joe the Plumber's agent." — Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."

___

"Congratulations to everybody who ran the New York City Marathon yesterday. Good to have you here. And a special congratulations to this year's winner, Joe the Runner." — Letterman.

___

"The Republican Party has asked President Bush to stay out of sight until after the election. Apparently Bush has agreed to this strategy and is appearing weekly on the NBC series, `Kath and Kim.'" — Conan O'Brien on NBC's "Late Night."

___

"I don't want to say that the Obamas are overly confident, but they've already agreed to let Oprah use their house in Chicago as a place to keep her dogs." — Kimmel.

___

"According to recent news reports, Bill Clinton has now become an adviser to Barack Obama. Bill Clinton is giving advice to Barack Obama. Do you know who is really upset about this? Michelle Obama." — Leno.

___

"My guest, Andrew Sullivan, says conservatives should support Obama. Well, McCain's campaign managers certainly have done their part." — Colbert.

___

"Did you get any of those annoying robo calls? You know, those phone call recorded messages from the candidates. I got them all weekend. I even got one from Ralph Nader's campaign. Turns out it wasn't recorded. It was Ralph calling personally from a pay phone." — Leno.

___

"Sarah Palin is going to celebrate the end of the campaign. She charged one last $1500 blouse to the campaign. So, got that out of the way." — Letterman.

___

"This weekend at a John McCain rally, Arnold Schwarzenegger said that Barack Obama needs to exercise more because his legs are too skinny. Then he said: `Now behold, the awesome physical specimen that is John McCain!'" — O'Brien.

Stephen Colbert does a Jeopardy Shout-Out

Two things that I love, "The Colbert Report" and "Jeopardy." Put the two together and it is too funny.

The Colbert Report: Ignorance History Month

If you had any doubt that Stephen Colbert was a genious. Check this video out, where he introduces "Ignorance History Month." Darn I wish I were smart enough to have thought of that.

It reminds me of how once one of my college professors asked me if I had a Phd. what would it be in, then he answered his own question telling me it would be in ignorance.

So, I've got that going for me.
